IMAGE 2017: SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY

"If I have the means, I have the responsibility to employ them." -Terry Brooks, The Scions of Shannara

In the present scenario, where change is the only constant; GLS IBA took the charge to create a difference through IMAGE 2017: A National Level Management Fest. The theme on which this fest was centered was "Social Responsibility". A lot has been said and discussed about corporate social responsibility. Since corporates operate and thrive in the society using resources from the society, it is only fair that they give back to the society in some form. But one cannot ignore the fact that every individual who lives in the society is also responsible towards it.

This time IMAGE was enormous due to inclusion of new events like JAM, Research Paper Presentation, Case Analysis, Point-counter point with presence of events such as Face-to-face which was a simulation of GD-PI, Reality Bytes, Business Plan, Ad-mad, Movie-making- all revolving around the theme of social responsibility.
